THE WATCH PLAYS GENESIS
Only a year after performing to a full house of fans of "classic" Genesis, Italy's The Watch is back with an almost entirely different show, focussed on the "Foxtrot" and 1973's "Live" era, in other words (as the real connoisseur would say) the "Blue Show". Ever since it first appeared, the Milan-based group was praised by some, and criticised by others, for the close proximity of its own music with that of 1971-75 era Genesis. Making the best of the situation, they used it as an asset, deciding to respectfully revisit this mythical repertoire that Genesis itself abandoned years ago. 12-string guitars, flute and analog keyboard sounds are used to perfect the sonic illusion.
